Wonder

Wonder is an enhancement designed for professionals who want a simple, reliable way to improve small or medium sized low-resolution images without stacking multiple tools. Traditional workflows can over-process or introduce artifacts when several enhancements are combined. Wonder is an automatic image repair tool to deliver very high-quality, artifact-free results on medium and low-quality images.

Wonder will not work as a Preset

It’s able to generate clean outputs, especially with fine details that other models may struggle with.

The maximum output for this Wonder generative model is 128MP (megapixels). If you have issues rendering your image, test a smaller starting file or contact us at Support and we can troubleshoot.

Important: This model is best for images that are soft, noisy, compressed, or low-resolution where you want clean, realistic detail without artifacts.

Wonder v2 release

The Wonder v2 model was released in Topaz Photo v1.2.0. It is our most impressive all-in-one realism model so far. It’s built to handle extremely difficult images and produce outputs that look clean, natural, and professional. Wonder 2 is a great choice when realism is the top priority and you want a safe model for professional work.

If Wonder v1 felt too stylized for certain images, Wonder v2 is designed to feel more restrained and natural.

Key things to know

Wonder v2 is Cloud render only (for now): Because of the computational resources required to run this model, Wonder v2 is currently available as a cloud-only feature.
Single-step model with no preview controls
Best results when upscaling 4x
Not recommended for low-light phone images with heavy noise

Wonder v2 performs best on low-resolution or challenging source images that need strong cleanup and enhancement. For already high-quality images, it may be unnecessary, but it can still be useful for light cleanup or consistency improvements.

Cloud or Local

To render locally:

You would need to have a Pro license or Topaz Founder status, and have your machine meet the minimum requirements. You can then render locally with Wonder 1.

To render on the Cloud:

Use the Wonder v1 or v2 model and launch it on the Cloud.
Cloud rendering is unlimited in Topaz Photo.
